Rev Up Your Metabolism
Put your metabolism to work for you. Now’s the perfect time to incorporate some metabolic-revving tips
into your daily regimen and avoid gaining weight.
REV UP YOUR BODY’S ENGINE
We eat food for fuel. When we burn it for energy to run our bodies, the process creates heat. Nutritional
supplements can assist the body’s engine to burn fuel efficiently, helping our metabolism stay revved and
functioning well.
DAILY REGIMEN TIPS
Keep your metabolism revved with these tips:
• Engage in 30 minutes of activity every day to help minimize weight gain and to raise metabolic rate.
• Tone your muscles by weight training three days a week.
• Start small–try walking with one- to two-pound weights.
• Do not eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day. Eating too little may slow your metabolism.
• Never skip breakfast. It may slow down your metabolism.
• Nutritional supplements, such as Herbalife’s Total Control® and Herbal Tea Concentrate, can help
boost metabolism.*
• Have a supply of protein-powered healthy snacks on hand as an alternative to carb-loaded junk food.

Calorie Burners: Turn Up The Heat
CALORIE BURNERS:
ACTIVITIES THAT TURN UP THE HEATBy Susan Bowerman, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D.
Calorie-Burning Activity Chart
As an example for how to use this chart, look up how many calories you’re burning by engaging in different activities. The more active the exercise, the more calories you burn.
MODERATE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY APPROXIMATE CALORIES/HOUR FOR A 154POUND PERSON*
When it comes to burning calories, most of us want to get as much mileage out of our exercise as possible. For many, the more calories we burn, the better we feel about our workout. While energy expenditure should not be the only measure of a good workout (remember: it’s good for you and it makes you feel better too!), it is helpful to know what a given activity might be costing you in terms of calories.
A word of caution, though, about counting calories: Simply burning more calories will take you only so far down the road to better health. A well-balanced, low-fat diet, plenty of rest and a healthy attitude are also essential. And, of course, all things in moderation–including exercise.
READING THE CHART:
ACTIVITIES THAT TURN UP THE HEATBy Susan Bowerman, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D.
The numbers of the chart on the next page correspond to how many calories individuals burn per hour during different activities. There are a few things you should keep in mind as you review this chart. With exercise, it really is true that you get out of it what you put into it. Simply showing up for class and going through the motions is not going to do you much good. To get the most out of your exercise session, give it your all, even if your all is less than what others might be doing. And don’t forget to look for little ways to increase the number of calories you burn each day. You might be surprised to learn that it is possible to burn more calories simply by becoming more active in your everyday life. Doing things like using the stairs, walking to the mailbox instead of driving, and doing active chores around the house are great ways to burn additional calories.

EXERCISE FOR BODY AND MIND
There are so many benefits to exercise, and every day, we are discovering new ones.A recent Newsweek article discussed how exercise can boost brain power and fight off diseases like Alzheimer’s–more incredible information in an already long list of benefits. New research in animalmodels has shown that exercise stimulates a hormone called IGF-I or insulin such as growth factor-I, which, in turn, goes to the brain to stimulate another brain-derived-neutrotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF is believed to facilitate a process in which an animal’s brain nerve cells branch out and communicate with each other. In fact, research has supported that theory that a brain with lower levels of BDNF is challenged with retaining new information. How amazing is exercise–not only does it build the body, but the mind as well! Exercise not only slows the aging process in the brain, but reverses it. Research has also shown that active adults have less inflammation in the brain and fewer transient ischemic attacks, or ministrokes, which can impair cognition. People who exercise regularly tend to have higher levels of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinepherine.With so many people on psychotropic medication, exercise is proving to be an inexpensive method of maintaining mental health. As with the body’s muscle mass, the same holds true for the brain: Use it or lose it. Within just a short month of stopping physical activity, the new brain tissue connections that were formed basically shrink down back to normal.
Many parents of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) already know the benefits of physical activity on their children. It tends to help regulate their moods. An exercise prescription can often be given in conjunction with medication for these ADHD children/or may even replace a medication regimen.
This has broad-ranging implications for children in school and their curriculum. With so many schools having downsized the number of physical education classes with a focus on more class time, this could be detrimental. That extra time on the playground may actually boost test scores in all children. The great thing about introducing physical education at an early age in school is that it sets the tone for future exercise. Once a healthy habit like exercise is established, it tends to carry on. When people understand the importance, it becomes even more of a regular routine.
So, we know the benefits of exercise for all types of health. Not only does exercise help with chronic conditions, it also promotes wellness.

HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE
TO BURN IT OFF?
VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY APPROXIMATE CALORIES/HOUR FOR A 154-POUND PERSON*

READING THE CHART:
Shape Up Your Life
SHAPE UP YOUR LIFE
By Luigi Gratton, M.D., M.P.H.
Anytime is the right time to get outdoors, get in shape and renew our commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some helpful hints to keep in mind as you shape up.
1. TAKE TIME TO WARM UP
Spending 5 to 10 minutes warming up prepares your body for exercise. Walk before jogging. Jog before running. Just warm up at a pace that gradually gets your heart beating at 50 to 60 percent of your maximum heart rate. And don’t forget to stretch. Moving from side to side warms your muscles and prepares them for exercise.Warm muscles allow for a greater range of motion for your joints and make injuries less likely as well.
2. THINK VARIETY
Have you ever started a fitness program and then let it fizzle out? The reason could have been boredom. A program that includes several fitness activities–for example, walking or biking on Mondays and Wednesdays and playing tennis or swimming on Fridays and Sundays–will help maintain your interest and keep you motivated. Need a change of scenery? Try varying the place you exercise with a new route for walking or biking. Having different options can allow you to pick the one that suits your mood and keeps your fitness program feeling fresh.
3. GET YOUR ANTIOXIDANTS
Don’t forget about the important role that proper nutrition plays in achieving an active lifestyle. Since exercise can increase the formation of free radicals, it’s always good to have some extra protection. Antioxidants, such as Vitamin C and beta-carotene, may play a role in preventing cellular injury and delaying muscle fatigue. Try to get at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, as they are packed with powerful antioxidants. Our targeted nutrition products also provide key antioxidants that protect muscles and joints against exercise-induced oxidative stress. So, remember to add antioxidants to your diet and get the most out of your fitness program.
SEVEN WAYS TO LOOK GREAT
Target These Major Muscle Groups
What is the easiest way to work the whole body? Very simply, I developed what I call “The Simple 7”–the seven main muscle groups we work on throughout the week. The Simple 7 includes:
1. Chest
2. Biceps (Front of arms)
3. Triceps (Back of arms)
4. Abs (can be worked daily)
5. Back
6. Front of legs
7. Back of legs
Generally, I split a workout between alternating days: The first day I will work upper body, the next day lower body. Again, work abs every day to help strengthen the core. Doing some healthy cardio means a good 15 minutes of elevated heart rate. There is plenty of evidence to support the notion that 15 minutes of cardio daily has profound impact on heart health.
Don’t worry about trying to spend an hour on a treadmill; the added benefit is minimal and may actually work against you.There are approximately 260 muscles in the body. So, why just work on seven, and why these seven? Well, it’s all about getting the most bang for your effort. When exercising, it’s best to work on large muscle groups. It’s as if you are fine-tuning a regular car engine as opposed to an engine in a toy boat. The larger the muscle, the more metabolic benefit, and the bigger the payoff when it comes to weight maintenance. The Simple 7 group consists of the fewest number of muscle groups one has to work on to achieve maximum benefit in an exercise routine. You can exercise with more or less, but if you attack these particular muscles, then you will achieve maximum benefit. Also, it’s important to realize that the body is a balanced machine, and you must work the lower with the upper, and the back with the front. The seven muscle groups provide total balance in an easy way.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WORK OUT?
How much you work out depends on your schedule, but I recommend three to five times a week. I work out daily, but I incorporate tremendous variety into my routine for a number of reasons. One reason is to always keep it interesting. Another reason is to move the stress around the body. You don’t want to repeat the same exercise every day, because that will wear on the joints, bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
I generally recommend splitting up the week. For those of you who can only work out three days a week, which I consider the minimum, either rotate Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Or you can do Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This allows one day in between for rest. This rest time gives the body an opportunity to grow and repair from the damage caused by exercise. Within those three days, you can rotate exercises, so Monday would be upper body and abs, Wednesday, lower body and abs, then Friday, upper body and abs again. The following Monday, you could rotate so that Monday is lower body and abs, Wednesday is upper body and abs, and then Friday is lower body and abs again.
This allows that necessary rest time between exercises for optimal muscle health. Three days a week is the basic minimum routine. On each day, the workouts should be split between cardio and resistance: 30 minutes of each is perfect. The cardio exercises should be rotated as well, so that Monday is the treadmill, Wednesday is the bike, and Friday is the elliptical. This again allows variety so that you’re not bored, and it spreads the stress around the body’s tissues so as to avoid overuse injuries that are so common.
If you prefer to exercise more, then five or even six days a week is recommended. With more days, you can split up your workouts more. For example, Monday, instead of just doing upper body, you do very specific upper body such as chest and biceps with abs. Remember, abs are done every day to strengthen your core. Then Tuesday you could do specific lower body such as quads, calves and abs. Going on to Wednesday, you’re back to upper body so that you’re doing upper back, triceps and abs; Thursday, hamstrings and abs. Then Friday you can repeat your Monday workout so that you’ve come full circle and have given your body ample time to rest. This is the best workout for the individual who does not have time to spend two hours in the gym every day.
The cardio exercise should be done after your strength workout. I prefer this for a couple of reasons. First, you will not be as tired for your strength training, for which it is important to be well rested. A second reason is sweat. After running on a treadmill or stair stepper for 30 minutes, your body’s sweat and salts are coming out of your pores, which makes for a more challenging weight workout. The bar may be slipping from your grasp; you’ll be sliding around in the machines, and so forth. So try to do weights first, then cardio. The only reason I recommend some people start with cardio is that those individuals are very tight and tell me that their muscles are cold in the morning. For these people, I think cardio beforehand may actually improve their workouts. It tends to make them more limber and gets the blood circulating around the body.

Real Users, Real Experiences, REAL RESULTS!
I've tried dozens of products for different reasons for the last 10+ years. Some for weight loss or to maintain weight, and some for everyday nutrition and even for pain. My 2011 New Year's Resolution was to just get healthy, eat regular meals, and take my vitamins. I was tired of being tired. When I found Herbalife, I decided that this was going to be what was going to change my life! I was going to get healthy and the best part was that I would be able to help others while I was getting healthy....
Almost 5 years ago, I hurt my knee during a training exercise and life hasn't been the same since. It started with my knee and moved up to my hip and eventually my back. I couldn't sleep through the night due to the pain - I'd try to sleep on my side and my hip would ache, I'd lay on my stomach, and my knee would throb, and forget laying on my back, I just wouldn't dare try it because it hurt so much. I had surgery on my knee almost 2 years ago, but it still bothered me. The pain was getting unbearable again and I was starting to get worried because I didn't want to have more medical problems and possibly lose my military career.
Almost a month ago, I began taking Herbalife products to get healthy. I knew I wasn't taking care of myself with such a busy work schedule. I'd skip out on breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner too! If I had dinner, it would be almost at midnight! I couldn't keep neglecting my body anymore. I don't even remember how I ended up requesting someone to contact me on working from home with Herbalife, but I'm glad I did. When I received my Quick Start Program products, I started trying everything out. I sat down and made giant labels on each bottle top so that I would know exactly when to take them. I started with the Formula 1 Meal Replacement Shake, I added the Protein Powder and the Aloe Vera Powder. It tasted great! I started taking the multivitamins, the herbal tea, total control - everything! I was excited because I wasn't hungry at work, I was getting all my nutrients and vitamins, I wasn't tired, I had a lot of energy, I was feeling great!
I was walking through the gym, going through my work out routine in my head, I thought to myself - "Hmmm, I really need to work my back again, and make it stronger so that it doesn't hurt as much...Wait a minute, when was the last time it hurt? My hip and my knee don't hurt either, my joints don't hurt!" I had a giant smile on my face as I walked towards my boyfriend, I asked him if he remembered the last time I was in pain or didn't sleep because of it. We both realized it had been about 2 weeks, about 10 or 11 days of being on the products! I checked with a friend who is a nutritionist and asked him if it was possible for me to not be in pain due to eating healthier. When he said it was very possible because my body now has a source to withdrawal energy from and repair itself, I wasn't feeling the negative effects anymore. I wasn't lacking nutrients, I was getting healthy!
Needless to say, I have been sharing my success story with anyone who wants to listen because I know Herbalife works! I would recommend for anyone to try out the products at least for a month, and really stick to an easy program and I know you'll be sharing a similar story in no time! You can check out the products on my site mygreatshapetoday.com/rosies-store. I suggest you try the FORMULA 1, 2, 3 and the great Herbal Tea that helps you lose weight too! I wasn't trying to lose weight, but I have since lost 10 pounds and 6 inches! I have energy, I sleep good, I feel great and most importantly, I AM HEALTHY!
Almost 5 years ago, I hurt my knee during a training exercise and life hasn't been the same since. It started with my knee and moved up to my hip and eventually my back.

Almost a month ago, I began taking Herbalife products to get healthy. I knew I wasn't taking care of myself with such a busy work schedule. I'd skip out on breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner too! If I had dinner, it would be almost at midnight! I couldn't keep neglecting my body anymore. I don't even remember how I ended up requesting someone to contact me on working from home with Herbalife, but I'm glad I did. When I received my Quick Start Program products, I started trying everything out. I sat down and made giant labels on each bottle top so that I would know exactly when to take them. I started with the Formula 1 Meal Replacement Shake, I added the Protein Powder and the Aloe Vera Powder. It tasted great! I started taking the multivitamins, the herbal tea, total control - everything! I was excited because I wasn't hungry at work, I was getting all my nutrients and vitamins, I wasn't tired, I had a lot of energy, I was feeling great!
I was walking through the gym, going through my work out routine in my head, I thought to myself - "Hmmm, I really need to work my back again, and make it stronger so that it doesn't hurt as much...Wait a minute, when was the last time it hurt? My hip and my knee don't hurt either, my joints don't hurt!" I had a giant smile on my face as I walked towards my boyfriend, I asked him if he remembered the last time I was in pain or didn't sleep because of it. We both realized it had been about 2 weeks, about 10 or 11 days of being on the products! I checked with a friend who is a nutritionist and asked him if it was possible for me to not be in pain due to eating healthier. When he said it was very possible because my body now has a source to withdrawal energy from and repair itself, I wasn't feeling the negative effects anymore. I wasn't lacking nutrients, I was getting healthy!
Needless to say, I have been sharing my success story with anyone who wants to listen because I know Herbalife works! I would recommend for anyone to try out the products at least for a month, and really stick to an easy program and I know you'll be sharing a similar story in no time! You can check out the products on my site mygreatshapetoday.com/rosies-store. I suggest you try the FORMULA 1, 2, 3 and the great Herbal Tea that helps you lose weight too! I wasn't trying to lose weight, but I have since lost 10 pounds and 6 inches! I have energy, I sleep good, I feel great and most importantly, I AM HEALTHY!
